Are you or a loved one facing surgery or hospitalization? The tools below can help you evaluate hospital performance so you can make informed decisions about your care. It's important to talk with your doctor about these findings. He or she has the most information about your specific condition and can advise you of other important aspects about your care. Of course, if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or contact your local emergency services.
